Snow Slide in the San Juan.

An old miner described snow slide in
the San Juan He said the awful grandeur
of such o scene was indescribable. The
snow usually came roaring down at night
when the voice of the wind was sobbing
and moaning through the pine trees as if
it were some human thing sent forth to
roam about the earth through all the ages
There was usually high wind, great
crash, and then for time all was chaos,
and he that came out alive thanked his
lucky stars and prepared to move his cabin
to some warmer cline He said there were
o great many lives lost in Colorado by
means of snow slides. Last year 200 peo-
pie were sacrificed to the snow tiend.
He had often noticed long, bare places
on the mountains, where the snow slides
had torn away. the trees and hurled them
with tremendous force against the rocks
of the deep canyon below. "It is hard to
say,'' he continued, ''as to where it is safe
to live in the San Juan. Occasionally
there are snow slides about Mosquito pass
and over and about Aspen. March is the
most dangerous month in the year in those
mountainous regions. 1t is then that the
snow king holds high carnival, playing
with, it always seems, human lives for
very amusement. Denver Tribune-Re-

GREAT MISTAKE

Of rheumatism, neuralgia, and nervous or

failure on the part Of thousands Of sufferers
TO find relief even though they have ex-
hausted the skill Of various physicians and
tried numerous sO-called remedies. To

nomenal, and yet il is not surprising be-

Along Norwegiarf shores.

Whether you sail along the coast or ride
in carioles over the Norwegian roads, there
is constantly something that is curious
and interesting presenting itself. The sea
seems alive with fish, particularly cod.
You meet quantities of curious vessels
sailing from the north to Bergen, the great
fish depot, with their holds full OF dried
fish aud the decks piled up some fifteen or
twenty feet above the bulwarks with what
looks ut distance like boards, but which
on approaching you find to be the dried
cod piled SO high that boomis rugged to
the rudder and the steersman sits high up
so as to see over the dried fish. Herring
are got in fabulous quantities, but at a
different season Oh the year from that
when l was there.-Col. George Bliss in

Once more that old and chestnuty
story comes up that the Republicans are
going to carry several Southern States
In the next Presidential election. They
are at last, as they braveiy declare,
about to "shatter the Solid South
Meanwhile the rejuvenated South

gret that we did not let her go in 186l-5
She is with us to stay now, and she is
going to surpass the world with her iron
product and cotton-seed oil. And mark
this: Cincinnati is her natural market
But for the hideous howing ofsome
few lunatics who fancy that they want

long since have been in almost absoo'

Cigar Stumps in Paris.

(Cor. New Orleans States.
Among the curiosities of Paris is the
market for cigar stumps in the Place
Maubert. Megot, by profession a COL
lector of these stumps, initiated me one
fine morning into the mysteries of his
peculiar calling. Every day, from to
10 a. M, the market is full of life. A
kilogramme q 1-5 pounds) of stumps
from Londres cigars is worth thirty
cents to fifty cents, according to the
length of the stumps. The ends of ci-
gars at one and two cents each only
bring from fifteen to thirty cents a
kilogramme. There are four or five
wholesale dealers in cigar stumps, who
have their headquarters in the wine-
shops of the vicinity, and who there
deal with their furnishers, mostly poor
old men and women and ragged boys.
Some 500 persons earn their living after
this fashion. The amount annually
produced by the traffic is said to reach
$150000. Much of the tobacco thus
scraped together is sold to workmen,
and much is also said to be exported
under the title of "Tobac de Paris. !"
There was one old fellow in the Mau-
bert quarter who, some years ago, be-
came so rich at this humble business of
selling cigar stumps that he had an
annual income of $1,000. But my
friend Megot turned out badly. Not
satisfied, suppose, with what he was
able to CLEAN by the public way, he
was recently caught in the act of steal
ing in the shop of tobacconis:. He
said, by the way of excusing himself,
that he had never heard of law which
forbade taking snuff This on a pinch
might pass for an excuse, but the Paris
police are a pig-headed lot, and
wouldn't see the joke. They walked
poor Megot off to vile place of duranee

in the mountainous districts. there
have always been many illicit stills,
but the number Of these is said to have
materially decreased of late, in conse-
quence of the vigorous measures taken
to suppress them. In several of the
States there is only one distillery. and
New York has only two. Pennsylyg.

sHERMAN'S CRITICISM oF NEW
YORK REPUBLICANS. ~.

senator Sherman in an interview
with World correspondent the other
Gay, accused the Republicans of New
York of timidity. He said thev shonl6
nave waved the bloody shirt more free
ly as ne and Foraker did in Ohio.
But the Senator is unmindful of the
fact That Republicans of New York are
OF very different temperament from
their brethren in Ohio. This was proven
Two years ago. After the Republicans
had carried Ohio on the sectional issue
ne and Foraker Immediately packed
their gripsacks and left for New York
70 carry on their sectional warfare in
that state, In this assault they were
rep9lsed, for the people rebuked them
Oy ueIeatlng the Republican candidate
foT Governor by 1900 majority.
HAD the election in Ohio been in Oc.
tober this year as it was in 1885. these
gentlemen would have had the oppor.
tun1ty to wave the bloody shirt in New
York during the last three weeks of the
campaign. But they would only have
succeeded In defeating Fred. Grant for
Secretary of State by 10000 in
stead of 10000. The Republicans of
New York are very conservative and
are strenously opposed to any attempt
TO SUIT up the dying embers Of factional
strife: They believe that the war is
over, but the Republicans of Ohio, un
der the lead of Sherman and Foraker.
are still searching around old sectional
grave yards for dead issues to fight its
political battles.

THE SPARROW NUISANCE.

ACCORDING to the Agricultural Re
port the rate of increase i'll the number
of English sparrows is amazing. II was
fifteen years ago when they were first
introduced i'll New York parks with a
view OF destroying the worm pests that
were sucking the life OF the trees. The
catterpiltars had become SO numerous
on the park trees that is was feared the
trees could not long stand the ravages
of the pests. 1t was suggested by some
one, whether iOkingiy OF not, that the
English sparrow would destroy them,
and the suggestion was taken in earn
est by the Park Commissioner without
investigation. He sent over to England
and procured few pairs Of spRrrOws
aud was so carful with them that every
attention was given that they might
increase and Teplenish the earth with
their kind. 1t was not many years there
after when the sparrow became az num-
erous, impertinent and Tapacious that
like some other classes of contract labor
they thought they owned the country
and proceeded to take possession. At
this time the whole country is over
run with them, from Maine to Texas
and from the placid Pacific to the tur-
bulent Atlantic. Even the smaller
villages are filed with them and they
overspread the farms, devOuring the
wheat before it is fully headed and
ripened for the sickle. And now it has
been demonstrated beyond conjecture
that they do not destroy the worm that
dieth not where the sparrows are most
systematic and persistent in their in
crease. Instead, the pugnaciOus little
emigrant has driven away from the
trees in the cities the many native birds
that do destroy tine pests that retard
the growth of and injure vegetation.
How to get rid of them is problem
that stumps the wiseSt to solve. The
damage done by the sparrows in the
destruction of grain cannot be cOmput-
ed, but it is enormous. The writer has
seen fields of wheat almost graipleSs,
the result of the rapaciOus appetite of
the English sparrow, and with all the
pampering they got at the outset they
have paid nothing for their keeping.
To rid the country of these Is the only
thing to do, and this work must be done
by systematic and persistent warfare
They are too small for the pot and con-
sequently the hunter will not waste his
ammunition on them, therefore the
work of destruction will have TO be
done by the masses, on all occasions
and at all times. If one pair be left in
the country 1t is only question of one
season when they will 80 multiply that
they will be as numerous as ever.-i Ex-

A BRUTE IN HUMAN FORM.
"a Boys Best Friend is his Mother" Blu,
Not in this Case.


Not in this Case.
ERIE, PA, Nov. IA most heartless
and pitiless abandonment of a helpless
parent by the offspring was enacted at
the Union depot here. The outcast was
the helpless mother Of James Robinson,
of Northeast. She was brought UP on
a cot, and being an invalid was unable
to stir. She lay on the open platform
III the bitter November winds for some
time without notice, until kiud hearted
baggagemen put her cot on the truck
and ran her In beside the stove.
The poor woman lay apparently uncon-
scious. In an hour or so II pompOus
man came in and" gave the poor direct
ors orders by telephone to send their
wagon along, as he had a candidate for
the almshOuse. The sons orders arous-
ed the old lady from her spell, and she
begged piteously to be spared the hu.
initiation OF being cast into a pauper
pen. Despite the poor Wolnan's prayer
ful entreaLies, and tho curses Of the
men who stood around the inhuman
son and his mother, the woman was
loaded on the poor house ambulance
and taken over to. the poor house. The
act WAS cold and deliberate, and the
sons actions were more like those of an
executiOnet than son.
